- CBS acquisition positively impacts first-quarter results
- Basic and diluted EPS of $0.36 and $0.33 for the quarter
- Year over year increase of $3.0 million in net interest income
- Nonperforming assets at 0.27% of total assets at December 31, 2016
- Tangible book value per share of $11.52 at December 31, 2016
WEST POINT, Ga., Jan. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Charter Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:CHFN) today reported net income of $5.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, or $0.36 and $0.33 per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared with net income of $4.6 million, or $0.31 and $0.30 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Net income for the current-year quarter increased $431,000 over the prior-year quarter. Driving factors were increases in loan interest income and deposit fee income from the acquisition of Community Bank of the South ("CBS"), a negative provision of $750,000 and several large gains on the sales of other real estate owned ("OREO"). These increases were partially offset by $2.9 million of recoveries on loans previously covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements taken to income in the prior year.
Quarterly Operating Results
Quarterly earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were positively impacted by:
- An increase in loan interest income of $3.1 million, or 33.1%, and an increase in loan interest income excluding accretion of acquired loan discounts of $3.6 million, or 43.2%, partly due to the acquisition of CBS and also due to $220,000 of interest income recorded on the payoff of two long-standing nonperforming loans.
- A negative provision of $750,000 related to continued net recoveries of $878,000 during the quarter, and positive asset quality, versus no such provision in the same period last year.
- An increase in deposit and bankcard fee income of $272,000, or 9.4%.
- An increase in gain on sale of loans of $383,000, or 110.2%, due to improved mortgage activity in legacy markets and the newly acquired market.
- An increase in net benefit of operations of real estate owned of $338,000 due to $444,000 of gains on sale of OREO, most of which had been written down to market value during the economic downturn.
Quarterly earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were negatively impacted by:
- An increase in interest expense on deposits of $493,000, or 74.1%, due to higher balances from both legacy accounts and those acquired through the CBS acquisition.
- An increase in salaries and employee benefits of $871,000, or 16.5%, due to higher payroll related to the CBS acquisition.
- Recoveries on loans formerly covered by loss sharing agreements decreased $2.6 million due to several large recoveries during the prior year.
Chairman and CEO Robert L. Johnson said, “The CBS acquisition continued to make a positive impact on our results in the first quarter. Additionally, our historically conservative nature benefited us during the quarter, as we improved our asset quality while seeing the benefit of net recoveries on formerly charged off loans and interest, gains on the sales of OREO and a negative provision. While these recovery trends may continue, it will probably not be at the same remarkable rate."
Financial Condition
Total assets increased $23.3 million to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2016, from $1.4 billion at September 30, 2016, largely attributable to a $40.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, driven by increases in deposits and paydowns of loans and investment securities held for sale. Net loans decreased $3.4 million, or 0.3%, to $990.6 million at December 31, 2016, from $994.1 million at September 30, 2016, primarily the result of paydowns.
At December 31, 2016, total deposits increased $24.5 million to $1.2 billion; transaction and money market accounts increased $3.8 million and $22.5 million, respectively.
From September 30, 2016 to December 31, 2016, total stockholders' equity increased to $205.5 million compared to $203.1 million due primarily to $5.0 million of net income, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company's portfolio of investment securities available for sale. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income was driven by market interest rate changes since the November presidential election. The Company's evaluation of its securities portfolio at December 31, 2016 determined there was no new other-than-temporary impairment in the portfolio. Book value per share increased to $13.67 while tangible book value per share increased from $11.36 to $11.52, both due to our retention of earnings.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income increased to $12.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared with $9.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Interest income increased $3.4 million due to a $3.6 million increase in loan interest income, excluding accretion of acquired loan discounts. The change was largely due to higher average balances from the acquisition of CBS completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, offset by a $446,000 decrease in net purchase discount accretion. Quarter over quarter, total interest expense increased $448,000 to $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, largely due to increased balances of higher-costing deposits from CBS, as well as $121,000 of interest expense on the Company's subordinated debentures assumed in the CBS acquisition. These increases were offset partially by a $166,000 decline in interest expense on FHLB borrowings due to a maturing advance being extended at a substantially lower rate in May 2016.
Net interest margin was 3.71% for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to 4.03% for the same period in 2015. The decrease was largely due to increased deposit balances, both from legacy growth and the acquisition of CBS, as well as a continued drop in accretion income. The Company's net interest margin, excluding the effects of purchase accounting, decreased to 3.48% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared with 3.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Under purchase accounting rules, the Company currently expects to realize remaining loan discount accretion of $270,000 over the next three quarters related to its acquisition of the First National Bank of Florida and $2.1 million related to the CBS acquisition over the life of the loans acquired.
Mr. Johnson continued, "Although we've reached a point in the credit and interest rate cycle where it would be easy to add risk into our balance sheet, we will strive to maintain our conservative appetite to risk, working to build a healthy loan portfolio while maintaining a modest credit and interest rate risk profile."
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $750,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2016 due to the continued positive credit quality trends of its loan portfolio and net recoveries of previously charged-off loans. No provision was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2015.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 decreased to $5.0 million, compared with $6.8 million for the prior-year period. The prior-year quarter included $2.9 million in recoveries on loans formerly covered by loss sharing agreements, while the current-year quarter included only $250,000, a decrease of $2.6 million. The current-year quarter included increases in core components of $272,000 in bankcard fee and other deposit fee income and $383,000 in gain on sale of loans.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 increased $1.2 million to $10.3 million, compared with $9.1 million for the prior-year period, due in part to increases of $871,000 in salaries and employee benefits and $266,000 in occupancy, both of which were attributable to increased ongoing operational costs from the CBS acquisition. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the net benefit of operations of real estate owned of $338,000 to $359,000 as a result of several large gains on the sales of other real estate owned.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2016 were at 0.27% of total assets, down from 0.45% at September 30, 2016, due to payoffs of two long-standing, high-balance, non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses was at 1.05% of total loans and 594.81% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2016, compared to 1.03% and 277.66%, respectively, at September 30, 2016. Not included in the allowance is $2.1 million in yield and credit discounts on the CBS acquired loans. At December 31, 2016, the allowance for loan losses was 1.30% of legacy loans, compared to 1.35% at September 30, 2016. The Company recorded net loan recoveries of $878,000 in its allowance for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared with net loan recoveries of $207,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Capital Management
Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2014 through the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company repurchased 8.1 million shares, or 35.6%, of its common stock, for $91.9 million. The Company repurchased 150 shares during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. On January 24, 2017, the Company announced an increased dividend of $0.06 per share, the second consecutive quarterly increase after a $0.05 per share dividend was announced in the previous 14 quarters.
Mr. Johnson concluded, “The CBS acquisition has enhanced our leverage of capital and expense structures, and we've seen significant improvements in our return on assets and return on equity, at 1.39% and 9.84%, respectively, at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2017. These returns allow us to continue our focus on organic and potential acquisitive growth. We continue to seek potential acquisitions that are additive to our existing franchise and will maximize returns to our shareholders."

(1) Net interest income excluding accretion and amortization of acquired loans divided by average net interest earning assets excluding average loan accretable discounts, a non-GAAP measure, in the amount of $2.9 million, $3.8 million, $4.7 million, $2.0 million, and $3.1 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively.
(2) Current period holding company capital ratios are estimated as of the date of this earnings release.
(3) During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a net downstream of capital was made between the holding company and the bank in the amount of $6.1 million as part of the Company's acquisition of CBS.
(4) Ratios for the three months ended December, 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015 include all assets with the exception of FAS ASC 310-30 loans that are excluded from nonperforming loans due to the ongoing recognition of accretion income established at the time of acquisition.
(5) Accounting requirements for the third quarter 2016 acquisition of CBS have affected the comparability of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans. Excluding former CBS loans totaling $191.9 million, $236.4 million and $264.7 million at December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively, which were recorded at acquisition date fair value, the allowance approximated 1.30%, 1.35% and 1.37% of all other loans at December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures (unaudited)
Statements included in this press release include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. Charter Financial management uses non-GAAP financial measures, including loans receivable income excluding accretion, net interest margin excluding the effects of purchase accounting, and tangible book value per share, in its analysis of the Company's performance. Loans receivable income excluding accretion excludes the following from loans receivable income: accretion from purchase discounts related to acquired loans. Net interest margin excluding the effects of purchase accounting excludes the following from net interest margin: net purchase discount accretion and the average balance of purchase discounts. Tangible book value per share excludes the following from book value per share: the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets.
Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
